What is the downside of living in the ghetto on welfare?
Trayvon had been had him an iphone, ipad, ipod, MacBook Pro, high speed internet access, and he had a wad of cash on his person after the accident. Any white suburban kid would have exactly the same stuff, so I wonder how bad can being "poor" in America be?
You probably never get out.
Trayvon Martin wasn't poor.
And I'd like to know how you know what stuff Trayvon had at the time of his death.
Trayvon Martin wasn't living in a ghetto or on welfare.
That neighborhood was lower middle-class, not a ghetto.
Nothing about human existence is fair. In this world if you don't cheat you don't get ahead. "Beelzebub"
You can't get out of it.
Drug dealing brings profit…
Why won't you people get over the Zimmerman case? Jeez he's not guilty now get over it.
Where is your source that shows he had all those things? How do you know he was on welfare You have no credibility.
Living in ghetto areas in the usa is not only dangerous but there are a lot of cons. For instance the sanitation of the area isn't the best, crime rates are high, gang violence thrives, and not only that you'll be paying a lot of money for a living arrangement that's less then good.plumbing isn't always the best, and while you're paying for things to be fixed you have bills to pay. Not really a good way of living but we do what we have too to survive.
This can't be a serious question. You need to read the papers and get out in the real world.
Being hood rich is awesome. Not everyone in the hood is ghetto, and mooch off welfare. Lots of hard working blue collar citizens earn enough disposable income to buy nicer stuff with the money they save from lower property taxes, mortgages, commute, etc. Its the lower class bougie white people that desire to be "upper middle class" the ones that get screwed over. They try to live beyond their socio-econimic class.
The downside would be having to live around a bunch of gang bangers and thugs just like Trayvon!
- Why do some people on Welfare have nice and fancy things? I don't get it. I have a friend who's family is on welfare, but they all have Iphones, 5 flat screen tv's, and very nice cars. They just bought their 3rd car, and it's a 2013 Camaro. Doesn't it mean when you're on welfare that you're barley making ends meet?
- Why do people who don't need welfare have it? I know someone who has an iPhone, expensive clothes, a huge house, and a lot of money and she is on welfare and she does NOT need it, she is also on food stamps. And me. My family makes less than 15k a year and is not on welfare or food stamps and my single mother has a job. How the heck does this happen?
- Is there any hard evidence of widespread fraud of welfare programs? Or is it all just anecdotes. The most common type of answer I get is "my neighbor is on food stamps and has an iPhone!"
- Is the iphone 5c really all that ghetto looking? I'm gonna get an iphone, but i'm on a budget… So i'm gonna get the 5c instead of the 5s (the 5c has the plastic backing). A lot of people are like "that's so cheap looking and ghetto" but I thought an iphone is an iphone. It's not all that cheap anyways. And I can get a case to cover the plastic. I don't get why people think it's ghetto compared to the 5s. What do you think?
